Kazakhstan is preparing to establish a national cryptocurrency reserve fund worth between $500 million and $1 billion, a landmark step that could make the Central Asian nation one of the first to integrate digital assets into its sovereign wealth strategy.

The fund will be seeded with assets seized or repatriated from abroad, along with proceeds from state-backed bitcoin mining operations. 

Central bank governor Timur Suleimenov said in London this week that the fund will invest “very carefully” through regulated instruments such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and shares of companies involved in digital finance, rather than holding cryptocurrencies like bitcoin… Read more on BitcoinMagazine

Kazakhstan is preparing to create a national crypto reserve fund valued between $500 million and $1 billion, according to a Bloomberg report. The move marks a major step toward diversifying the country’s economy and reducing its dependence on oil revenues.

The proposed fund will invest in crypto-related companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain indirect exposure to digital assets such as Bitcoin. The Deputy Governor of Kazakhstan’s Central Bank confirmed the initiative, describing it as part of the nation’s broader effort to modernize financial strategies and embrace digital innovation.

Authorities are also considering allocating portions of gold and foreign exchange reserves into crypto investments. By integrating digital assets into national reserves, Kazakhstan joins a growing list of countries leveraging blockchain-based financial instruments to strengthen economic resilience and attract global investors. The move signals a strong pro-crypto stance and positions Kazakhstan as a rising player in the global digital economy.

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has added 961 Bitcoin worth nearly $99 million to its official reserves. The purchase, made from a Bitfinex hot wallet, pushes Tether’s total Bitcoin holdings beyond 86,000 BTC. This move continues the company’s steady accumulation strategy, following a massive $1 billion Bitcoin acquisition in September.

The latest buy reinforces Tether’s commitment to using Bitcoin as a key reserve asset and a hedge against inflation. Company executives have repeatedly emphasized Bitcoin’s role as a “long-term store of value,” and Tether’s consistent purchases highlight confidence in the asset’s future performance, even amid market volatility.

Bitcoin recently surged past $106,000, reaching new all-time highs, yet Tether continues to buy during both dips and rallies. By diversifying its reserves beyond cash and U.S. Treasuries, Tether strengthens transparency and signals strong institutional belief in Bitcoin’s growing dominance within the global financial ecosystem.

Bitwise may be just weeks away from launching the first spot Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), after a recent regulatory update fast-tracked its approval process. The firm used a filing method under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act that automatically takes effect in 20 days unless the SEC intervenes, potentially setting the ETF’s effective date around November 26.

Unlike most ETF approvals requiring direct SEC sign-off, this move means the spot Dogecoin ETF could proceed without formal authorization if no action is taken. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the change, calling it a strategic step that signals Bitwise’s confidence in the SEC’s current stance on crypto products.

The proposed ETF would hold real Dogecoin (DOGE) in custody with Coinbase Custody, while BNY Mellon manages cash assets. Expected to list on NYSE Arca, the fund will track DOGE’s spot price, further cementing Dogecoin’s move from meme coin to mainstream investment asset amid rising optimism for crypto ETFs.

Bitcoin may surge to nearly $170,000 in the next six to twelve months as market leverage resets and volatility improves against gold, according to JPMorgan analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou. The bank noted that the crypto market recently corrected by about 20%, following major liquidations in perpetual futures—the largest in crypto history—yet the deleveraging phase now appears largely complete.

Analysts highlighted that the ratio of open interest in bitcoin futures to market capitalization has returned to normal levels, signaling market stabilization. Despite minor redemptions in exchange-traded funds, overall investor activity remains steady. Ethereum has shown similar patterns, though with less pronounced effects.

The report added that rising gold volatility has made Bitcoin more attractive on a risk-adjusted basis. JPMorgan estimates Bitcoin’s fair value at around $170,000, reflecting a potential 67% increase from current levels near $103,000. The bank believes this shift underscores renewed investor confidence in the crypto market’s long-term outlook.
